Molecules Mann Nick

In his highly anticipated sequel to The Elements, Theodore Gray demonstrates how the elements of the periodic table combine to form the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.

Omnipotent Government Mises Ludwig von

Published in 1944, during World War II, Omnipotent Government was Mises's first book written and published after he arrived in the United States. In this volume Mises provides in economic terms an explanation of the international conflicts that caused both world wars. Although written more than half a century ago, Mises's main theme still stands: government interference in the economy leads to conflicts and wars. According to Mises, the last and best hope for peace is liberalism--the philosophy of liberty, free markets, limited government, and democracy.Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) was the leading spokesman of the Austrian School of economics throughout most of the twentieth century.Bettina Bien Greaves is a former resident scholar and trustee of the Foundation for Economic Education and was a senior staff

Raymond Khoury

Siberia, 1916. A mine turns into a bloodbath when its miners attack each other, savagely and ferociously. Minutes later, two men - a horrified scientist and infamous Russian mystic Rasputin - hit a detonator, blowing up the mine to conceal all evidence of the carnage. New York, present day.

Magister Pavol z Kolár a Hontovci z Poiplia - Sitár Tomáš

Monografia Magister Pavol z Kolár a Hontovci z Poiplia predstavuje stredovekého šľachtica Pavla z Kolár (1359 – 1431), potomka starého slovenského šľachtického rodu Hont-Poznanovcov. Ide o vôbec prvú monografiu príslušníka stredovekej uhorskej šľachty, ktorý nielenže preukázateľne pochádzal z pôvodne slovenského rodu, ale s územím Slovenska je spätý celý svoj život od narodenia po smrť.Pavol z Kolár ako protonotár dvoch palatínov bol dlhodobo jednou z hlavných hnacích síl uhorského súdnictva v období neskorého stredoveku, mal veľký vplyv na formovanie a štandardizovanie uhorského zvykového práva a súdneho systému, a ako člen kráľovskej rady poskytoval svoje vedomosti a skúsenosti aj samotnému kráľovi Žigmundovi. Napriek tomu, že vo svojej dobe patril medzi významné postavy kráľovského dvora a súdnej kúrie, ide o osobnosť, ktorej slovenská historiografia doteraz nevenovala ani najmenšiu pozornosť.Tomáš Sitár sa na základe predovšetkým primárnych prameňov (stredovekých listín a ich edícií) snažil zmapovať život a kariéru tejto dôležitej osobnosti uhorských, a tým pádom aj slovenských dejín. Predstavuje ho z rôznych pohľadov, z ktorých mnohé búrajú zažité stereotypy – ako pracujúceho šľachtica, kráľovho verného poddaného a služobníka, spravodlivého a mierneho zemepána, seniora šľachtického rodu, nekonfliktného suseda, zbožného cirkevného donora. Okrem osoby magistra Pavla sa v diele podujal spracovať aj históriu jeho predkov a potomkov, čím vznikla komplexná tapiséria osudov troch v slovenskej historiografii doteraz nezmapovaných šľachtických rodov, ktorých pôvod je možné vysledovať až ku legendárnemu komesovi Hontovi.

Anxiety: The Seminar of Jacques Lacan Lacan Jacques

Jacques Lacan is widely recognized as a key figure in the history of psychoanalysis and one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. In Anxiety, now available paperback, he explores the nature of anxiety, suggesting that it is not nostalgia for the object that causes anxiety but rather its imminence.In what was to be the last of his year-long seminars at Saint-Anne hospital, Lacan's 1962-63 lessons form the keystone to this classic phase of his teaching. Here we meet for the first time the notorious a in its oral, anal, scopic and vociferated guises, alongside Lacan's exploration of the question of the 'analyst's desire'. Arriving at these concepts from a multitude of angles, Lacan leads his audience with great care through a range of recurring themes such as anxiety between jouissance and desire, counter-transference and interpretation, and the fantasy and its frame.This important volume, which forms Book X of The Seminar of Jacques Lacan, will be of great interest to students and practitioners of psychoanalysis and to students and scholars throughout the humanities and social sciences, from literature and critical theory to sociology, psychology and gender studies.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Scazzero Peter

MORE THAN 500,000 COPIES SOLD!A road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative.Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do--avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries.Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.In this updated edition, Scazzero shares new stories and principles as he outlines his journey and

Borrowing Credibility Grittersova Jana

Nations with credible monetary regimes borrow at lower interest rates in international markets and are less likely to suffer speculative attacks and currency crises. While scholars typically attribute credibility to domestic institutions or international agreements, Jana Grittersov argues that when reputable multinational banks headquartered in Western Europe or North America open branches and subsidiaries within a nation, they enhance that nation's monetary credibility.These banks enhance credibility by promoting financial transparency in the local system, improving the quality of banking regulation and supervision, and by serving as private lenders of last resort. Reputable multinational banks provide an enforcement mechanism for publicized economic policies, signaling to international financial markets that the host government is committed to low inflation and stable

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion Donaldson John

David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical classic that displays a powerful mastery of the critical thinking skills of reasoning and evaluation. Hume's subject, the question of the existence and possible nature of God, was, and still is, a persistent topic of philosophical and theological debate. What makes Hume's text a classic of reasoning, though, is less what he says, than how he says it. As he noted in his preface to the book, the question of 'natural religion' was unanswerable: so 'obscure and uncertain' that 'human reason can reach no fixed determination with regard to it.'Hume chose, as a result, to cast his thoughts on the topic in the form of a dialogue - allowing different points of view to be reasoned out, evaluated and answered by different characters. Considering and judging different or opposing points of view, as Hume's

Choir of Ill Children Piccirilli Tom

This lyrical tale of evil, loss, and redemption is a stunning addition to the Southern gothic tradition of Flannery O'Connor and Harry Crews.A Choir of Ill Children is the startling story of Kingdom Come, a decaying, swamp backwater that draws the lost, ill-fated, and damned.Since his mother's disappearance and his father's suicide, Thomas has cared for his three brothers--conjoined triplets with separate bodies but one shared brain--and the town's only industry, the Mill.Because of his family's prominence, Thomas is feared and respected by the superstitious swamp folk. Granny witches cast hexes while Thomas's childhood sweetheart drifts through his life like a vengeful ghost and his best friend, a reverend suffering from the power of tongues, is overcome with this curse as he tries to warn of impending menace. All Thomas learns is that "the carnival is coming."

Moma Dance: Boris Charmatz Velasco David

Since shocking audiences in 1993, at age 19, with his radically sparse A bras le corps, Boris Charmatz (born 1973) has emerged as one of France's leading choreographers.
